An XML processor has to have some > involvement in that. But the error in question would show up after the encoding declaration had been processed -- well after! -- so the XML processor itself would no longer need involvement. The non-normative "detection" can't involve the error ... surrogates can't appear within encoding declarations. In any case, it's OK for conformant processors to reject UCS-2 out of hand, eliminating all possibility of such an error in any case! - Dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
